​My Mother was one of the best bakers I have ever known. Her cakes and pies were legendary. While leafing through my recipe collection today, I ran across some icing recipes in the box I got from her. They sounded so delicious that I decided to share them. My Mom always made layer cakes, but I think these would work just as well on a sheet cake. Enjoy!

I know that savory bread pudding may sound kind of unusual, but actually in the past it used to be quite common, especially in England. Bread pudding of all kinds has been around for centuries, because it was an easy way to use up left over bread and other food. In the past food was much harder to come by than it is today and wasting it was simply not done.

St. Patrick's Day is the perfect time to enjoy savory bread pudding. It's a great full meal for vegetarians, or if you prefer, you could add meat like bacon or ham. It also makes a great side dish. ​
